Episode Synopsis

A 45-year friendship doesn’t happen by accident. We share how two college dorm moms became lifelong sisters through moves across oceans, career pivots, colicky babies, and a few audacious hikes—including a one‑day push across Big Bend—while holding onto faith, humor, and each other. This is a story about what sustains you when the phone plan is limited, the language won’t stick, and loneliness sneaks in even on beautiful days by the sea.You’ll hear how praying for friends turned into a hiking group that opened community in the south of France, how writing down prayers became a “book of remembrance” that steadied us through the next hard thing, and why putting God as first love gave order to marriage, motherhood, and work. We talk about volunteering when your credentials don’t transfer, aging with fresh adventure and a green, sappy spirit, and the rich surprise of multi‑generational living that lets grandchildren wander in and joy multiply at the kitchen table.If you’re craving real sisterhood, practical ways to build community, and a gentle push to keep going when the trail tilts uphill, this conversation is for you. Listen for the moments where women showed up with cake, courage, and a steady hand—and imagine how you might be that person for someone else. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help more women find their people.We love to hear from you! Send us a text
